The Cathedral Basilica of St. Stephen the King (Hungarian: Szent István székesegyház Bazilika) also called Székesfehérvár Cathedral is the name given to a religious building of the Catholic church in Hungary which serves as the cathedral of the city of Székesfehérvár, and therefore the seat of the diocese of Székesfehérvár (Dioecesis Albae Regalensis or Székesfehérvári egyházmegye) which was created in 1777 by Bull "In universa gregis" of Pope Pius VI.
The church was built in Baroque style, between 1758 and 1768. The choir and the altar were designed by the famous Austrian architect Franz Anton Hillebrand, the interior frescoes depicting scenes from the life of King Stephen I, the altarpiece represents the Stephen king kneeling in front of the Mother of God and was made by Vinzenz Fischer, while imposing ceiling paintings are from Johan Cymbala.
